With the Törten Estate Walter Gropius designed a prototype of modern living. Here the dictum "people's needs instead of luxury needs" has become manifest in actual buildings – an ongoing success story whose houses are much sought-after even today. Further information on Törten Estate here.

The guided tour starts at the Konsum Building with an exhibition of the settlements’ history, bypasses different house types and shows a sample flat within the balcony access houses. A special highlight is Haus Anton, the only building which has been completely preserved in its original state. The tour takes approximately one hour.
